Carlisle and Ihobe.

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN: Mr..
John &. Carlisle was dictator Of the
forty-ninth Congress. Common decency,
justice, and national honor all protes
against the election Of Mr.. Carlisle to
the speaBershp of the House of Representa-
tives of the flftieth Congress. His scat as
member of the coming Congress is con-
tested by Mr.. Thobe, and upon Mr.. Car
isles own evidence, and his admission the
morning after the election, Thope received q
majority Of all the votes legally cast at the
last election. Under the constitution Of
the United states the House OF Representa-
tives is invested with sole power to deter
mine as to the election and qualification OF
its own members, and therefore when the
House Of Representatives passes upon an
election contest Its members act under oath
as judges in coult. The election of MIR.
Carlisle speaker while his seat is contested
prejudges the case. 1t places the Demo
cratic party on record as SO intensely parti.
san that 1t will not even investigate the
charge Of non-election when 1t is made by
a workiugman against one of the pets of
the ex slavehnlding Democratic aristocracy.
The Republican members Of the House OF
Representatives should place protest on
record against such an election, for 1t is
subversive Of the rights of the people
of the sixth Kentucky district, which Mr..
Carlisle claims to represent. No man can
vote for Mr.. Carlisle for the speaershipi-
without trenchlng seriously upon the judi.
cial functions conferred on him by the con.
stltution, and which constitute him Judge
OF the facts, whether Mr.. Carlisle or Mr..
Thobe was elected to Congress. This is
one of thousand evidences that the Dam
ocrstic party, controlled as 1t is by southern
ex.slaveholders and rebels, holds In con.
tempt the workingmen and the sanctlty OF
of the verdict of the ballot box.
